Boeing Receives Global Vision Award for Work in India

WASHINGTON,- The Boeing Company [NYSE:BA] announced today that the US-India Business Council (USIBC), the premier U.S.-India business advocacy organization, has presented the company with the USIBC Global Vision Award.

The award recognizes Boeing’s deep and enduring commitment to India, its growing presence in the country, and its continuing efforts to create sustainable value through the development of strategic partnerships with government and industry.

Boeing Chairman, President and CEO Jim McNerney received the award earlier today at the USIBC’s 32nd Anniversary Leadership Summit. “This award is a testament to the expanding partnership between India and Boeing. We are committed to responding to India’s needs and contributing to its growing success through our product offerings, services, and industrial and academic partnerships which in turn will help Boeing become more productive and grow.”

Boeing began its relationship with India sixty years ago when India joined the jet age on the wings of Boeing jetliners. Those airplanes continue to be the mainstay of the country’s domestic and intercontinental commercial fleets. Boeing earlier this year expanded its enterprise team in India and is actively developing important, integrated relationships with Indian industry to strengthen its presence across both the defense and commercial sectors.

Today’s presentation was part of a two-day meeting held at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. The Global India Summit was attended by key leaders from government and industry of the two nations and celebrated 32 years of strengthening Indo-U.S. business ties.
